The Childhood Obesity in America video was not done in a live audience. It passes crucial information to all parents all over the world. The Tom Brown Audience: Design Engineers Situation: was done in live audience. It can also be seen by many people who did not attend the live audience. The two videos share a common theme that there are changes that needs to be made.
The first video that has been considered here is Childhood Obesity in America. It speaks of a matter that is evident in many American homes. The speaker makes short statements regarding obesity in young children. Although this is not given in a live audience, it has all the aspects of a presentation video. It also has all the aspects of the rhetoric triangle; the audience, the speaker and situation.
